Note: If you wish to move the mower by

pushing, you must release the dynamic brak-

ing. Locate the levers at the rear of the mower.

Pull both levers out and lock in position. After

pushing the mower to the desired location,

return both levers to the operating position

(See photo at right).

When the mower is parked with the engine

running and the steering levers opened out

in the neutral position, the parking brakes

should be applied. The parking brakes are

drum-type brakes mounted on each traction

wheel.They are both engaged by the same

operating lever.

Adjustments:

The parking brake handle is an overcenter lever that

should engage with moderate force.

Note: To increase parking brake capacity tighten the brake rods going back to the

brake arms equally. Tighten rods one full turn and check parking capacity. Repeat Step.

To adjust either brake individually, disconnect the brake rod from the brake

arm by removing the cotter pin from the clevis pin and pulling the clevis pin

from the brake clevis. Loosen the hex nut and turn the brake clevis in a

clockwise direction one full turn looking down the brake rod. This will

tighten the brake about .040 inch. Tighten the hex nut and reassemble the

brake clevis to the brake shaft assembly. Normally, both brakes should be

adjusted an equal amount.

Repair:

The mower is equipped with internal wet drum brakes and

will not normally require maintenance. If they are not working prop-

erly, please contact your service center.

F. Hydraulic System

Hoses:

Check the hoses from the hydraulic oil tank to the oil filter

to the hydraulic lines daily for leaks or abrasion and replace any

damaged hoses. Make certain there are no kinks or twists in any

hose.

Hydraulic Oil Tank and Filter:

Note: Change the hydraulic oil and the oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation

and every 500 hours thereafter.

To drain the hydraulic oil tank, place a 2 gallon drain pan under the drain

plug on the bottom of the hydraulic oil tank. Remove the drain plug, drain

the tank, then replace the plug. Place the drain pan under the filter and

remove the filter by unscrewing in a counterclockwise direction. The filter

will be full of oil, so empty it into the drain pan. You don’t have to drain the
